This exclusive campground features 18 single-family sites, each equipped with cabanas, picnic tables, and campfire rings, ideal for those seeking comfort amidst the wild.

Located just 9 miles southeast of Manila, Utah, within Ashley National Forest, Hideout Canyon is also near Flaming Gorge Dam. Guests can explore its visitor center, take guided tours of the hydroelectric plant, or embark on thrilling Green River rafting adventures. This campground is perfect for weekend escapes or extended trips, offering an intimate connection with the reservoir’s breathtaking beauty and the surrounding forested landscape.
